Background

    On August 21, 2012, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain small diameter carbon and alloy 
seamless standard, line and pressure pipe from Romania. See Certain 
Small Diameter Carbon and Alloy Seamless Standard, Line and Pressure 
Pipe From Romania: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 77 FR 50465 (August 21, 2012) (Preliminary 
Results). We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary 
Results, but we received no comments.
    The Department has conducted this administrative review in 
accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act).

Scope of the Order

    The products subject to the order are small diameter seamless 
carbon and alloy (other than stainless) steel standard, line, and 
pressure pipes and redraw hollows. The products are typically 
classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(HTSUS) at subheadings: 7304.10.10.20, 7304.10.50.20, 7304.19.10.20, 
7304.19.50.20, 7304.31.30.00, 7304.31.60.50, 7304.39.00.16, 
7304.39.00.20, 7304.39.00.24, 7304.39.00.28, 7304.39.00.32, 
7304.51.50.05, 7304.51.50.60, 7304.59.60.00, 7304.59.80.10, 
7304.59.80.15, 7304.59.80.20, and 7304.59.80.25. Although the HTSUS 
subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the 
written product descriptions, available in Notice of Amended Final 
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty 
Order: Certain Small Diameter Carbon and Alloy Seamless Standard, Line 
and Pressure Pipe From Romania, 65 FR 48963 (August 10, 2000), remains 
dispositive.

Final Results of the Review

    We have made no changes to our calculations announced in the 
Preliminary Results. As a result of our review, we determine that a 
weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00 percent exists for 
ArcelorMittal Tubular Products Roman S.A. for the period August 1, 
2010, through July 31, 2011.

Assessment Rates

    In accordance with the Final Modification, we will instruct U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate the entries covered by 
this review without regard to antidumping duties. See Antidumping 
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and 
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final 
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) (Final Modification).
    The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on 
May 6, 2003. This clarification will apply to entries of subject 
merchandise during the period of review produced by AMTP for which it 
did not know its merchandise was destined for the United States. In 
such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at 
the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate 
company(ies) involved in the transaction. For a full discussion of this 
clarification, see

[[Page 67337]]

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of 
Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
    The Department intends to issue assessment instructions directly to 
CBP 15 days after publication of these final results of review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of this notice for all shipments of certain small diameter 
carbon and alloy seamless standard, line and pressure pipe from Romania 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
date of publication, as provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) 
The cash deposit rate for ArcelorMittal Tubular Products Roman S.A. 
will be 0.00 percent; (2) for merchandise exported by manufacturers or 
exporters not covered in this review but covered in the original less-
than-fair-value investigation or previous reviews, the cash deposit 
rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the 
most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this 
review, a prior review, or the original investigation but the 
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for 
the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; (4) the 
cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will 
continue to be 13.06 percent, the all-others rate established in Notice 
of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and

Seamless Standard, Line and Pressure Pipe From Romania, 65 FR 48963 
(August 10, 2000). These cash deposit requirements shall remain in 
effect until further notice.

Notifications

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to the 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely notification of the 
destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order 
is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the 
terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    We are issuing and publishing these results and this notice in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: November 2, 2012.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
